Thanks for the guide !The question is: can we reset the dungeon if we fail the timer to try untill we succeed ?

Comentado por Nethris

The timer for the "speedrun" is not too difficult if you know the way and have good aoe dps. With a full group of 870+ geared players, we had 6 minutes to spare when curator died, so even with worse gear youll be fine if you know what youre doing. The Nightbane bossfight itself is much more difficult.

Speedrun path: Normal path to opera -> go in front of stage for 1st crystal (you get the buff timer now) -> head to maiden crystal -> go to moroes through the dance hall and kill him -> head down to the old entrance -> go through the spider part (watch out for tank death, spooder frontal cone hurts!) -> take portal after spider crystal -> head to curator and kill -> head to nightbane spawn

Boss abilities:P1-Frontal cone breath on tank-Tail swipe-AoE fire ground zone placed under ranged dps/healer-Pulsing AoE dmg effect on boss itself-Interruptable AoE dmg every ~12 seconds-Debuff on dps/healer which causes the player to hit everyone else in the group for x amount of damage, where x is your remaining HP when the debuff runs out (stand in the ground AoE to lower your HP)

Start with the boss near one of the edges and move towards the center with the aoe zones. P2 comes at 50%

P2:-Nightbane in air, he still does the same AoE ground stuff-One big skeleton which you need to kill that ends the phase and small skeletons that dont do much, just aoe them-Healer shouldnt dispel the fire debuff, just heal through it, it spawns extra skeletons if you dispel it-Soft enrage with a stacking damage/movement speed slow debuff on the entire group, save your heroism/BL for this phase!

You can pull Nightbane to the opposite end you started in P1 to have more space from the aoe ground zones.

Few things to look out for:- Boss spawns fire puddles, they stay for quite a while - place them carefully. They tend to go on ranged.- Boss has normal tail swipe and fire breath as all dragons do.- Boss does dispellable debuff that will spawn skeletons if removed. Probably don't want to dispell it.- Boss does and Ignite Soul debuff, it will do damage equal to targets current health, so target will want to stand in fire to get low health and minimize damage done to party.

- At around 50% he flies up and air phase starts, bone add spawns.- Stacking debuff is applied that does dmg over time and reduces move speed- Fire puddles continue to spawn, debuffs continue to appear spawning more skellies

- Once add is dead boss comes down and continues exactly like in phase one but with one diference:- He does fearing roar, that is not interruptable, you just gotta take it.

I would suggest popping hero after first roar to burn down the boss.

Good luck!

Is the Image of Medivh the Boss that's after Curator or a different Medivh?

Comentado por Adamovix

He looks like anorectic Deathwing.

If you want to help test nightbane mod, grab latest test version of DBM from here:

Timers/warnings for all key abilities in all 3 phases including phase detections

It's in very good shape and covers everything, including interrupts.

I won't tag a new release until after blizzcon so only alphas have nightbane for now. When I get back and tag a new release I'll update this comment to reflect that.

EDITNo reason to use alpha, it's in a release version.

Turns out the only bosses you really need to kill for this guy are Opera, Moroes and Curator. Kill Opera, clear the way to Maiden then turn back, kill Moroes and steal his keys, skip Attumen, head for the Servant Quarters portal to get back to the entrance, run up and kill Curator, then drop down the Broken Stair at every chance for a shortcut.Fragments will apply Eco de Medivh to all party members within a limited radius when someone interacts with it, and will add 5 minutes to the remaining duration of all nearby instances of Echo (meaning, they do NOT reset the count to 5 minutes, and are designed to afford you as much time as possible, so you do NOT need to have one guy stay behind at each new crystal and only click when his buff is about to fall off; our tank nearly recommended that).You DEFINITELY need at least one person to survive between Opera and Nightbane with all 5 stacks of Echo; we had to retry a couple times because our whole group (sans 1 designated Fragment collector) ran out of buff range of the Fragments and reset their stacks, then our designated collector lost their Echo count before hitting 5 stacks (your personal Echo count WILL reset if you die). Don't be fooled if the dungeon's "internal timer" lets you continue to use the crystals: even if you can pick up the Menagerie crystal, you only get Presença de Medivh for having 5 stacks on one person, and you can only talk to Medivh with Presence.

Our strategy was to get the biggest trash packs possible and AE them down, while taking care to limit the number of unnecessary pulls. (For the Banshees, try not to have more than 2 at once; the Terrify needs to be interrupted over anything else.)On our first successful attempt, our group had around ~2 minutes remaining on our previous Echo buff each time before getting to the next crystal, and a little under 1 minute by the time we killed Curator.

870-ish group with some Mythic+ experience, fight itself actually wasn't that bad after we'd gotten a couple attempts in to familiarize ourselves with his mechanics.Not really a mobility-intensive fight, nor is his HP particularly high.

Tanked him so he faced the parapets with his tail to the tower, made it easy for DPS to avoid breath/tail swipe.Two melee alternate interrupting Sombras Reverberantes, with a third interrupt on standby just in case (though it was only necessary due to one of the interruptors screwing up the order; a coordinated group will find 2 alternating interrupts sufficient).Told the healer not to bother dispelling Ossos Ardentes; apparently it was surprisingly easy to heal through.Any time someone got Incendiar Alma, we had them jump in the fire until they got sub-20% and told the healer to keep everyone else up until the explosion. (Failure on this mechanic was the only thing that kept us from killing the boss first try.)Phase 2 starts when he hits 50%. He flies into the air and summons adds.Save damage CDs for phase 2 and burst down the big add Osso Maldito as quick as possible before Fragmentos Serrilhados gets too high for your healer; the shards debuff lasts until the end of the fight, like Garrote. We ended up with 6 stacks on our successful pull, though the healer pointed out that that was a bit high.We just cleaved down the other phase 2 adds.Phase 3 is the same as phase 1, but Nightbane occasionally casts Rugido Retumbante, which slows the group and can fear players into the flames - apparently DKs can AMS the roar (if other classes have anti-fear stuff, that probably works), although he casts it slightly too often (45-ish sec?) to keep that up. Luckily we never had an issue with him fearing us long enough to prevent interrupts.

Mount was personal loot, only 1 person got it per group for each run in our guild.

In case anyone is wondering you cannot return to kill Nocturno at a later time once he is summoned. My group successfully completed a speed run this evening. We were able to pull Nocturno, DPS him to 75% and then the servers went down. When we all were able to log in almost an hour later, we zoned into Karazhan and discovered he was indeed gone. We had to find someone with a fresh Karazhan ID and complete the speed run again for a chance at loot.

Just succesfully killed him last night. The speed run to get to him wasn't nearly as hard as the boss itself. The rest of the group was just excited to kill him and didn't give me any explanation as far as healing went. They told me not to dispel during phase 2 and did that when I could, but let me tell you healers, this is not an easy fight by any means. Perhaps other healing classes will do better in this fight, but as a holy priest it was really intense. I've healed +10 mythics and found that to be easier than this Dragon. I'm sure there must have been missed interrupts or other such things that went wrong because even pulling 440k HPS we just barely got it. I guess the gist of my comment is if you are a healer healing this for the first time, be prepared to heal your ass off. You easily have the hardest role in this fight.

Comentado por Nayen

Not sure where I heard this, but I was told you could leave instance and come back to Nightbane any time during the lockout after you had successfully unlocked him. But this is FALSE!

Leaving and disbanding the group will result in him despawning and requires a new speed run to resummon him.

Hope this saves someone's first successful guild run from losing Nightbane by planning to come back to him the next day...

Comentado por Joergensen

What difficulty do I have to run Karazhan on to summon it?

Comentado por Pallipwns

We did M return to karazhan and did everything right, got all 5 crystals, and medivh was not there, I noticed we never got a DBM timer and no buff after each crystal. Even if someone started it before anyone, we would have got a DBM timer to let us know that someone went inside. I had everyone go outside so I could reset the instance but it did not reset, yet I have reset normal mythics before for achevments and have reset karazhan before because someone started the timer before we were all there.

Comentado por Alayener

I can confirm the mount DOES NOT drop if you 4 man this. Four of us guildies downed him tonight and no one got the mount but he dropped in a 5 man group.

Comentado por Draconax

Anyone know what ilvl Nightbane drops at now? 895?

Comentado por Kochplatte

Here is a list of mount drops from Instances, Raids, and World Bosses to save some looking around.

As of patch 8.0.1 Nightbane in the Return to Karazhan instance is bugged.

When trying to summon him, the Image of Medivh will do the cut-scene, but Nightbane will not spawn.

Comentado por skyline33

I've just solo's him today as a 316 Protection Paladin. No struggle in the instance at all, boss hits harder than expected compared to other bosses. Easily tankible but not sure how dps may fair

Comentado por Ne0s59934

Just soloed this on my 336 fwar but it didn't drop... sadly they've made it a low drop chance...

Comentado por SuperSnivy

Just managed to solo him as a 324 Havoc Demon Hunter (unfortunately, the mount didn't drop). Compared to what you are required to beat to face him, Nightbane's noticeably harder, and I don't think it's soloable right now if your class does not have any kind of self-heal. It's pretty much going one-on-one against a level 120 elite alone - not something you can just DPS through carelessly.

For a level 120 solo run, all the timers are very forgiving. I had to backtrack a few times due to not knowing the layout or that annoying silence the Curator's adds have, yet I had over 6 minutes left by the time I killed the Curator. (Had another run today and I had over 10 minutes left)

When the next expansion rolls out, Legacy Loot mode would make this mount a guaranteed solo drop. I wonder if this (as well as Gul'dan's Mythic mount) is why Legacy Loot only activates at a 11+ level difference.

Just did it solo as an Ele Shaman i353, no mount ......yet,Fyi, at lvl 120, hes got about 600k HP and hits for 1500

Comentado por Arcalite911

Just a heads up. My fiance and I ran nightbane for the mount, and neither one of us got it. Either it's still a 20% drop per person, or they lowered it when BFA came out.

Comentado por tallensick

Tried to do the run today, got to the door that you go through to get up to curator and it was just locked

Comentado por HanzWermhatt

It seems as of 8.1 they've made this encounter a lot harder. Where I could solo it easily previously, I can only now just barely do so on a geared Rogue. Would not attempt this below 370 ilvl if your class has poor self healing.

Comentado por Kayrea

EDIT: After the release of BoD I was able to kill him again quite easily with ilvl 378, ww monk :)

As of the first week of 8.1 he hits like a truck - had no problem soloing him with 347 ilvl before (8.0), right now he takes me down quite easily in first 20 seconds of the fight.

Comentado por Illantha

As of 8.1, Ignite Soul is the troublesome mechanic. If you can, hard soak it with mechanics such as Ice Block and other damage invulnerabilities/soaks.

Comentado por Emogen

Can confirm that as of 8.1, Nocturno has been buffed to 1.3m health and can be quite painful. I faced him with my Fury Guerreiro with 371 ilvl.

Phase 1:-Keep out of the fire, using your Salto Heroico strategically. -Don't get backed into a corner. Murro to interrupt quickly.-Sede de Sangue and Impending Victory should also be used strategically to top up your health, not just on cooldown.-Regeneração Enfurecida is also key to use against Incendiar Alma.-Brado de Convocação in emergency situations.-DPS the boss quickly to get him to half health! the faster you do it, the less you have to deal with the mechanics. At half his health, Phase 2 triggers.

In Phase 2, he flies up into the air and gives you some breathing space. Get rid of the adds while staying out of the fire. Try to time your Impending Victory on the small adds to top up your health to full. Nightbane comes back down when the big add dies.

Phase 3 is similar to Phase 1 except the boss adds in a bellowing roar. Follow the strategy in Phase 1 and squeeze in your Alvoroço, pray for crits, and manage your health via Bloodthirst, Enraged Regeneration, and Impending Victory.

Good luck :)

As of this date, patch: 8.1 Soloable by 378ilvl Frost Mage (not difficult)-Avoid magma puddles-Interrupt Reverberating Shadows-Keep Icy Veins and time wrap for when he flies up and spawns big skeleton

Comentado por Longdwarf

After this weeks reset for some reason only Nightbane wasn't reset. When I opened the door the emote never happened and when I checked the expired lockout all bosses but him were defeatable. Touched the crystals anyway and never got the buff.

Comentado por Tinul4

A mention for those farming him during 8.3 that have higher item level characters: don't use damage over time spells because if he dies while he's taking flight his corpse will be unlootable.

Comentado por FaeDyne

I killed him too fast, skipping the intermediate phase, and his corpse can't be looted as it's in the air. Good thing the charred bone fragments quest item and the rest of the loot was in the mail.

Comentado por AlmightyKramer

As others have said, if you kill him too quickly his corpse won't be lootable. While it should come through the mail, you can actually loot him by pulling some of the mobs down the stairs to his corpse and using the AoE loot to loot him.
